What kind of Journey to the West is this?

This thing can break spells and can also have a deterrent effect when it hits people. Its only flaw is that it cannot hurt people.

In other words: purification and control, no damage.

In addition to this mantra, there is also a chapter on the method of chanting mantras at the end of the sutra, which requires Yanxia to recite the sutra silently in her heart. Reciting it five times is considered a small chant, and reciting it seven times is a big chant.

Five times means the Five Noble Truths, and seven times means the Seven Treasures. After seven times, one can purify the six thieves and enter the realm of existence.

This method of chanting mantras has wonderful uses. You can also chant other things according to this pattern, such as the "Sutra of the Vajra", "Diamond Sutra", "Heart Sutra" and so on. Chant once a day, and in ten thousand days you can achieve supernatural powers and become a saint.

It's just that it's of no use to Yan Xia. In ten thousand days, she'll be reduced to ashes and put into the small box...

Yan Xia tried to recite the "Heavenly Heart Sutra" several times, and practiced the alchemy formula again, with her eyes half open and half closed, focusing on the front. In the darkness, two streaks of white snow appeared in front of her.

My thoughts sank, and the sense of the outside world gradually disappeared.

Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

Color, smell, sound, taste, touch, and dharma.

Suddenly quiet.

But unfortunately, Yan Xia's inner joy broke this mysterious experience of concentration.

After all, it is not really the state of mind preservation, but just relying on the scriptures to force the experience. This state is very unstable and is somewhat like an experience card.

"Three Breaths of Kung Fu..." The girl looked at the scripture on her knees, thinking.

For her, the state of concentration for three breaths is enough.

Yan Xia turned to the annotations about the magic sword out of great curiosity.

This commentary is very interesting. It mainly talks about the wisdom of Manjushri, the great wisdom Bodhisattva and the teacher of the seven Buddhas. It also involves how to combine concentration and introspection to activate the magical powers of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Yanxia recited the Heavenly Heart Sutra, then entered the state of concentration. Following the method mentioned in the annotations, she placed her mind in the Niwan Palace and visualized Manjushri.

Specks of golden light flowed from his eyes.

The wind was blowing hard outside, hitting the windows.

The scriptures do not mention this phenomenon!

The girl did not stop, but continued to visualize the image of Manjushri with courage.

Holding a wisdom mirror in one hand and a wisdom sword in the other, he has a calm expression as he sits on a blue lion and recites the true words of wisdom.

In an instant, golden light shines brightly!

Ten feet of golden light of good deeds rushed out, like a dragon or a horse, rising continuously!

--Roar!

A lion's roar echoed throughout Kaiyuan Temple.

............

When the time came and everyone was asleep, several monks on night patrol were debating scriptures around the fire in front of the wing room under the moonlight, and cursing the officials of the provincial government and the ghosts and gods in the City God's Mansion, saying that their heads were full of Ye Xiang and they were not doing their work day after day. Recently, all kinds of demons and monsters had appeared.

Just as a few people were witnessing the event with great joy, the night wind suddenly stopped and the weather suddenly became gloomy.

A lion's roar instantly knocked over the clay cup beside the stove.

The tea was poured into the red clay stove, and with a "pop" sound, the flames were extinguished.

Several people only felt as if there was a shaking sound in their ears, and the ground under their feet was shaking.

"What's wrong with that yell, brother?!"

"It must be the cat from the west who's here to steal again!"

"That thieving cat really deserves a beating. Last time she stole the precious medicine from the medicine garden, Junior Brother Yuanshan got a lesson. This time, we must catch her in the act!"

The leading monk, cloth-clad, looked up in the direction of the pilgrims' quarters and said in surprise, "This is the Vajra Hymn. The blue lion beneath the Bodhisattva's seat is transmitting the sound. I'm afraid the Bodhisattva is about to descend and manifest himself..."

The other monks were horrified.

"The Bodhisattva hasn't descended in the past ten years. Why did he suddenly descend tonight? There's been no news at all."

"Vajra Mantra, that must be the wrathful Bodhisattva Mahakala descending. I'm afraid there's a demon in the temple!"

"Shock! We in Kaiyuan Temple have always been known for our good deeds, how could there be demons here? Please don't be alarmist. Brother, I think it's best to inform the abbot first. This matter is too serious."

The commoner monk shook his head and said, "The abbot went to the prefectural capital a few days ago at the invitation of the City God. You guys, keep an eye on the many fellow disciples here. Don't act rashly. I'll go inform the law enforcement elders."

The monk in plain clothes made a hand seal and walked quickly to the east.

Passing through the Main Hall, the Bell and Drum Tower and the Pagoda, the monk quickly arrived at the wing room outside the fine bamboo forest in the east.

In one of the rooms, Elder Daoming had just fallen asleep.

After being tormented by Yan Xia for several days, he can finally sleep peacefully today... "Knock knock", "Knock knock"!

The old monk woke up from his sleep with a dark face.

With a creak, the door was pulled open. The cloth-clothed monk stood outside. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Elder, there seems to be a Vajra descending over to the pilgrim's wing."

Monk Daoming's breathing stopped.

Oh my god, he really hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for several days!

I'm really afraid of what's coming!

"Elder, is this really the Vajra Mantra and the Bodhisattva's descent?"

"It cannot be said, it cannot be said..."

Monk Daoming swallowed his saliva. He had never seen such a scene before.

All I saw was a ten-foot golden light rising into the sky from the pilgrims' wing, illuminating the entire courtyard.

"Judging from his appearance, he must be the wrathful form of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Mahakala."

Monk Daoming muttered a few words to himself.

The monk in plain clothes was surprised and asked, "But Elder, the Bodhisattva hasn't descended in over ten years. Why did he suddenly come today without any announcement, and in a wrathful manner? Why is this?"

Monk Daoming had a strange look on his face.

"you ask me?"

"Uh......"

Monk Daoming shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that for now. Who is the donor living in this room? Has he come out?"

The monk was a little embarrassed and said, "He hasn't come out yet."

"What are you eating!"

Hearing this, Monk Daoming said angrily, "Even if the arrival of Mahakala doesn't kill anyone, it's bound to cause panic. Why don't you quickly rescue them to a safe place?"

"Elder, it's not that we don't want to save you, but the donor is meditating in the side room..."

"Meditation!? What's it called?"

"I don't know yet. I only know it was the female devotee who often practiced with you before."

Daoming was stunned, "Why is it her again?"

........

The girl sat on the couch. Although her body was still in Kaiyuan Temple, her mind had traveled thousands of miles and arrived at a desperate place on a mountain.

Looking down, the mountains are clustered together and the scenery is beautiful. Although there is no one living there, it does not feel lonely, and it even feels a bit lively.

Yanxia didn't know how she ended up in this mountain. She only vaguely remembered that she was visualizing the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva when she suddenly heard a lion's roar. A white jade lion then carried her and stepped on the clouds to the sky.

After landing, Yanxia walked a few steps among the ancient pines and cypresses, but did not find the shadow of the lion. There was only the mountain road under her feet and the surrounding forests.

After walking along the road for an unknown amount of time, Yanxia finally saw a hunchbacked man in loose green clothes and a woodcutter wearing a conical hat and carrying firewood in front of him.

"Old Immortal! Old Immortal! Disciple, take action!"

The hunchback bowed and said a few words, then stopped the woodcutter.

The woodcutter waved his hands and said with a smile, "Not a human being! Not a human being! I am a humble man who can barely afford food and clothing, how can I dare to call myself a god?"

The two men talked back and forth for a few words, and the woodcutter pointed towards the mountain, and the hunchback walked away happily.

Yanxia watched the woodcutter walking towards her.

She always felt that the conversation just now was a little familiar...

But before she could think for too long, the woodcutter came up to her and said with a smile, "Young lady, why are you so alone in this deep forest?"

The girl holds the yin and yang in her fist.

"Old Immortal, Old Immortal, disciple will take action."

"Hahaha! You really don't resemble that monkey. But you're bowing correctly! Follow me, follow me."

The woodcutter laughed heartily and carried the firewood down the mountain.

Yanxia followed the woodcutter.

Halfway through the journey, her vision suddenly opened up.

Beside the stream, under the ancient pines, there was a stone table, on which sat a man in green clothes, wearing a veil and a crown. His face looked a little gentle, and it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman. At his feet lay a large blue-grey cat.

The three words "Yuzhen Cave" are engraved on the roots of the pine tree behind the cat.

The woodcutter pointed and said with a smile, "This is exactly Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Tianxin Yuzhen Cave."

It’s not the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave, it’s not the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave?

Seeing this situation, Yanxia felt a little timid like a little girl.

——No one is afraid of this!

"I have seen the Bodhisattva."

Yanxia clasped her hands together and bowed.

Seeing this, the man in green smiled and nodded slightly in response.

This person was none other than Manjushri Bodhisattva, known as the "Teacher of the Seven Buddhas". Yan Xia had visualized him many times using the Tianxin Method, so now that she saw him, she naturally wouldn't make a mistake.

Seeing this, the woodcutter laughed and said, "You evil disciple, you don't know your own master, but you know the Bodhisattva very well?"

Yanxia couldn't help but wonder.

Where did she get any ancestors from? She just came from a humble background.

"I am your ancestor, Zhongli Quan! You are such an evil disciple! You practice my family's Taoism, but you don't even recognize me. You really don't know your true ancestors. You deserve to be punished!"

The girl suddenly woke up, but the next moment, a bag of cumin, a bag of chili peppers and various barbecue ingredients suddenly appeared in her hands.

You are quite knowledgeable about barbecue...

Yan Xia muttered to herself, not knowing whether it was transformed by this cheap ancestor or something else.

The woodcutter untied a carcass of a pheasant from his waist, handed it to the girl, and said, "I punish you to cook this pheasant quickly so that I can entertain Manjusri Bodhisattva."

The Bodhisattva on the other side said with amusement, "You, a Taoist who practices alchemy, are so ridiculous that it's laughable. Where in your Middle Earth do you entertain monks with meat? Are you following the custom of Xi Niu Hezhou?"

Zhongli Quan shook his head and teased.

"My disciples have a saying: Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. You, a Bodhisattva, are too rigid and inflexible!

Yanxia nodded in agreement.

No matter what else, just nod and agree. He is the ancestor after all, so give him some face.

Yan Xia suddenly had an idea and a bone-chopping knife appeared in her hand. She chopped the chicken into pieces with a snap and then marinated it.

Manjushri Bodhisattva suddenly looked over and said, "You have endured ten kalpas, so you must be a practitioner who has practiced cultivation. Yet, you have come to worship my Dharma body for no apparent reason. I wanted to summon you to Gion to clear your name, but I didn't expect you to be practicing the methods of his Dan Ding School. This old Taoist intercepted you on the way."

The girl was confused.

The Bodhisattva and the Patriarch talked back and forth, and Yanxia finally understood the cause and effect.

Zhongli Quan laughed and said, "You practice my family's Golden Elixir Method, but learn his family's Chao Zhen Jiang Sheng. How can one person in this world recognize two countries? That's why I stopped this old Hu Sao and protected your Yin Spirit to prevent you from going to Lingshan and losing your treasures."

"It's just that you've gone through ten tribulations, and I can't figure out which lineage of my family you belong to. But it doesn't matter. Since you've cultivated my family's lineage, I'll help you."

While they were talking here, Yanxia was busy skewering meat and grilling it.
